The 76-year-old fell ill on Friday following a bout of pneumonia, and is being treated at hospital -but the club has revealed he is making a "good recovery"
Hill-Wood was taken ill on Friday while at home, and is still being treated in hospital.
He took over the role as chairman of the club in 1982, and is the third generation of his family to take control of Arsenal, following his father Denis Hill-Wood and grandfather Samuel Hill-Wood.
The Arsenal statement is below in full:
"Everyone at Arsenal Football Club sends their support and best wishes to Chairman Peter Hill-Wood who is recovering after suffering a heart attack, following a bout of pneumonia.
"Peter was taken ill at home on Friday and is currently being treated in hospital. He is making a good recovery.
"The Club wishes Peter a full and speedy return to health and our thoughts are with him and his familyat this time."
Arsenal were defeated 2-0 at home to Swansea on Saturday, with the board criticised by fans who staged apre-match protest, and manager Arsene Wenger calling for his side and the fans to "stick together" after the game, as they slipped to 10th position, 15 points behind Premier League leaders Manchester United.

This is what their fans undergo everywhere they are in the world.

Arsenal? Smh...
